Fratello
Try this cigar, brother!
Italian for brother, Fratello cigars welcomes you to join the brotherhood of superbly crafted, boutique blends. Owner Omar de Frias grew up next door to a cigar shop in the Dominican and his love of the leaf was instilled at an early age and followed him through stops as a pro basketball player in the Dominican Republic and working for NASA. Fratello cigars represents the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for de Frias.
Fratello hails from the Joya de Nicaragua factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and is instantly recognizable with its innovative, attention-grabbing angled cigar band. Sporting a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Habano wrapper sitting atop a blend of Nicaraguan, Ecuadorian Sumatra, and Peruvian long-fillers. The flavors all complement each other, with the peppery nuances of the wrapper interplaying with the creamy and earthy notes of the fillers. This blend is medium to full-bodied and displays a complexity and balance that will please even the pickiest of enthusiasts. Try Fratello and see for yourself why this is one of the most hyped cigars in the industry.
Fratello received an impressive 91-rating noting: "Made with a dark wrapper and lumpy cap, this cigar offers notes of wood and toasted marshmallow, balanced by tea-like intonations and a savory leather finish."

Fratello Provides a Classic
I went into this cigar completely blind, not knowing a damn thing about what I was about to light up, and it paid off. It essentially felt like cracking open a mystery box, and what I got in return was a cigar that actually lived up to its lore.
Right away, what caught my attention was the licorice red band that twisted up the cigar like a snake, boldly carrying the name Fratello. Now I will be honest, the Habano wrapper really wasn’t a selling point for me. It’s just not my go-to preference. Still, that unique presentation and raw curiosity really were enough to get me to clip a little off the cap and torch the foot without reluctance.
From the initial draw, I was greeted with nutty and cedar notes that are great indicators for me. It was one of those moments when the stars aligned. Not only was there mystery behind this cigar, but it was already delivered on the type of profile I looked for early on. Naturally, I reached for my phone and started digging into the brand to see what I was dealing with here.
That’s when things took an unexpected turn. Lo and behold, the backstory was out of this world, literally. The man behind Fratello, Omar de Frias, actually came from NASA. That alone added a whole new layer to the experience. You’re not just puffing away on a cigar anymore; you’re holding a piece of something built by someone who helped explore the final frontier. It’s a wild crossover, and honestly, it made the whole thing even more enjoyable.
Back to the cigar itself, the burn was solid, holding a clean and impressive ash throughout. However, I did pick up on a slight bitterness during the first portion that didn’t click for my taste. It lingered just enough to bother me, though it wasn’t overwhelming. The good news is that as the cigar dwindled, it began to smooth out. By the second half, it settled into a more balanced state, bringing on hints of leather layered with a subtle creaminess that rounded out the rest of the cigar pretty well.
As I wrapped this cigar up, scrolling through articles, browsing through their website, and even watching a quick documentary, it all came together. Fratello isn’t just another cigar brand trying to make some noise. It’s genuinely fascinating, with a story that stands apart from the rest.
Overall, this is worth trying, especially if you enjoy cigars that evolve and carry a story with them. While it wasn’t perfect from start to finish, it delivered a unique experience that I can look back too fondly. I’ll definitely be diving deeper with what Fratello has to offer, likely doing it the right way. With my feet kicked up, my head tilted back, and as puffs of smoke plume above into the starry night sky.
